Coronavirus Disproportionately Killing Blacks:

A Post analysis of available data and census demographics shows that counties that are majority-black have three times the rate of infections and almost six times the rate of deaths as counties where white residents are in the majority.

Today’s must-read. The city-by-city data is alarming, to put it mildly.  Dr. Fauci points out that health disparities have always existed in black communities.  Health disparities and health service disparities.

Everything Falls Apart, Ctd.  The latest carnage: 399,929 confirmed cases and 12,911 deaths from the coronavirus.  Yesterday was the worst day in America both for new cases and daily deaths. One of the most Hispanic cities in America facing impending coronavirus disaster.

‘This Is Trump’s Fault’.  E-clip & save.  This comprehensive piece lays it all out–up until now, of course.  More blatant failures to follow. Another must-read.

Never Forget: Rethugs Recklessly Put Our Lives In Danger. Yep, another must-read.  This should be hammered home by every Democratic candidate.   BTW, have any of you seen this Mehdi Hasan on TV? He’s in John Oliver territory.  I like him a lot.  BTW, what the Rethugs did in Wisconsin yesterday? Call it what it is: murder.

The Coronavirus Bailout: ‘Huge Corporate Payoffs With Little Accountability’.  OK, I give up. Everything today is a must-read. We’re repeating the same mistakes of 2008.  If you are nesting-in-place, take time to read these articles.  It will make you a more knowledgeable person.

Trump Lost $1 Billion Last Month.  Hey, schadenfreude you can enjoy.  If nothing else, I’ve learned how to spell schadenfreude during this crisis.  That must mean I’m overusing the word.

That seems like a happy enough note upon which to close.  What do you want to talk about?
